Open-Air-Konzertnacht: Feel the Love Tonight - Best of Musical and Movie

Open‑Air‑Konzertnacht: Feel the Love Tonight – Best of Musical and Movie invites you to a spectacular summer evening under the open sky. The Staatskapelle Weimar, led by conductor Peter Christian Feigel, takes you on a sparkling journey through the golden ages of Broadway and Hollywood. Swinging overtures by George Gershwin and Richard Rodgers open the night, followed by rousing moments from “Porgy and Bess,” “West Side Story,” and “Chicago.” The program then turns to iconic film soundtracks by John Williams, Henry Mancini, and Elmer Bernstein, weaving in the magical score of the Harry Potter series, timeless tunes like “Moon River” and “Somewhere over the Rainbow,” and the epic themes of “E.T.” and “The Magnificent Seven.” The evening’s soloists, audience favourites Uwe Schenker‑Primus of the DNT ensemble, Sybille Lambrich, and Gero Wendorff, bring the beloved songs to life—from the soulful “Summertime” to the uplifting “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” the emotional “Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina,” and the uplifting title‑track “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” from The Lion King. Award‑winning actor and director André Kaczmarczyk hosts the event, sharing his expertise and passion that has earned him standing ovations in Weimar’s sold‑out productions. The concert takes place in the enchanting Weimarhallenpark, where the historic lake stage flows onto the meadow beyond the Weimarhallenteich, offering a fresh vista toward the Bauhaus Museum. The venue features picturesque strolling and picnic areas at the back of the meadow, and numbered seats are available in the group‑eight section just in front of the raised stage for those who prefer a precise spot. Join us for a night filled with emotions, goosebumps, and unforgettable melodies. Bring a blanket, sit back, hum along, and let the music transport you. Details & tickets.
